[RFC/PATCH 1/3] Use kobject_name() to access kobject names

From: Dmitry Torokhov
Date: Wed Oct 11 2006 - 02:11:50 EST


PM: use kobject_name() to access kobject names

Noone should use kobj.name directly since it may contain garbage.
Objects with longer names have them stored in memory pointed by
kobj->k_name.
